Private Super Jeep and Hiking Tour to Thorsmork from Hvolsvollur

Journey into the heart of Iceland’s Highlands on this private seven-hour super jeep and hiking tour to Thorsmork. With an expert guide, a specially equipped 4x4 super jeep, and a light lunch included, this adventure offers the perfect mix of off-road exploration and scenic hiking in one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural areas.

This seven-hour adventure tour in Iceland begins in Hvolsvollur, a beautiful town in South Iceland near Reykjavik. You can choose to be picked up from your accommodation in Hvolsvollur or meet your experienced tour guide at a central location in town.

As a private tour, you can enjoy the journey without feeling rushed, whether you want to spend extra time at scenic viewpoints or take a more relaxed approach to hiking. Your guide will tailor the adventure to your interests and fitness level.

You will then hop on to a power super jeep designed to navigate the rugged highland roads and glacial rivers that lead to Thorsmork Nature Reserve. The ride in itself is a thrilling experience.

As you leave civilization behind, the landscapes become increasingly remote and wild. Your new backdrop will be black volcanic sands, green valleys, and distant glacier peaks.

Crossing glacial rivers is one of the highlights of this journey. With the super jeep’s massive tires and expert handling, you’ll ford streams that are otherwise impassable, making this one of the most exciting off-road experiences in Iceland. 

Along the way, your guide will also stop at stunning viewpoints, including Gigjokull, an outlet glacier of Eyjafjallajokull, where the effects of the 2010 eruption can still be seen.

Once you reach Thorsmork, the Valley of Thor, it’s time to stretch your legs and immerse yourself in its breathtaking scenery. The area is surrounded by three glaciers, Eyjafjallajokull, Myrdalsjokull, and Tindfjallajokull, creating a stunning contrast of icy peaks and lush valleys. 

Your guide will lead you on a scenic hiking trail with options tailored to your fitness level and interests. Along the hike, you’ll pass deep canyons, moss-covered ridges, and shallow rivers, with panoramic views that make every step worthwhile.

The hike in Thorsmork offers an opportunity to connect with nature in a way that few places can. Unlike Iceland’s busier tourist spots, this remote valley is untouched, peaceful, and full of hidden wonders. 

To enrich the hike, your guide will share insights into the region’s geology, folklore, and ecology, adding depth to the experience. Feel free to ask them any questions.

After a rewarding hike, you’ll enjoy a light lunch, allowing you to relax and take in the stunning surroundings before the return journey. The drive back to Hvolsvollur offers another chance to soak in the highland scenery, with additional stops at scenic locations depending on weather conditions and your interests.
